Here's some fresh STR and more info on the uncaught exception which occurs when this happens.

(In reply to Kai Engert (:KaiE:) from bug 1675727 comment #0)

STR:

Send a plain message (A) to yourself.
Receive the message, use forward as attachment, send it to yourself (B).
Receive message B, which has A attached.
Double click the attached message A, which opens it in its own window.
In the new window, use "CTRL-S" or "file save as file".

Expected: Get a prompt to enter the filename, then get a file on disk with the saved message.

Actual behavior: no prompt, nothing is saved, error console shows two exceptions:
